Photograph the timesheet.
The attendance record writes itself.
Pasha Kintai is attendance management for small Japanese manufacturers who still run on paper and have good reasons to. Photograph the sheet with any phone; AI-OCR reads the handwriting and produces a record aggregated under Japanese labor law. Billed only for the people who actually worked. Pricing is published on the product site.

The photograph does not need to be square to the page, and the sheet does not need to be clean. Both of those constraints were removed because a factory floor produces neither.
The hard part was never the OCR call. It was designing an attendance record that stays defensible under Japanese labor law after a machine has filled it in: aggregation that follows the statutes, corrections that route to approvers named in advance, and an audit trail a labor inspector can follow back to the original photograph.
02 / Pricing
One plan, and you are billed for use

| What is counted | Only users with at least one clock-in or OCR import that month |

| Free trial | One month or longer, every feature, no cap on users or uploads, no credit card |
Usage-based billing is the point rather than a promotion. Seasonal work, a busy-period-only crew, or a plant that shuts for two weeks in August should not generate an invoice for people who did not work. Attendance software that charges for every registered employee, whether or not they worked that month, quietly punishes seasonal businesses — and those are exactly the businesses paper survives in.
